Jim, Carla and Tommy are members of the same family. Carla is 5 years older than Jim. Tommy is 6 years older than Carla. The sum of their three ages is 31 years. How old are each one of the children?
Answer Jim: 5 years , Carla: 10 years , Tommy: 16 years
Start by figuring out 3 numbers that equal 31, once you know those, check and see if they satisfy the other requirements like 5, 10, and 16 do.
